Impact Butto had control issues once again Tuesday, walking six batters in 4.2 frames but managed to limit the Nationals to just two runs and took the loss. The 25-year-old has struggled in both of his spot starts this season with a 3:10 K:BB over 9.2 innings. Considering he hasn't given the Mets any reason to keep him on the big league roster, Butto will likely be optioned back down to Triple-A once Justin Verlander (shoulder) returns from the IL but might be needed for one more start which could come Sunday against Atlanta.
